Chapter Seventy-Nine: The End of the Duff Family
The source of infection was cut off, and the zombies continued to dwindle under the siege of the security and National Guard, and the situation in Chicago was immediately brought under control, and most of the survivors were rescued.
At this moment, in the Duff Manor in the west of the city, there is also a scene of a ghost domain, countless zombies are wandering around, and there is no trace of the breath of the living in the entire manor.
Several black cars drove into the manor, knocked over several zombies and stopped in front of the main building. The car door opened, and a group of black-clad men wearing gas masks got out of the car and immediately shot and overturned several zombies.
When the surrounding zombies were cleaned up, a big man reached out and opened the car door, and a fat man who was also wearing a gas mask stepped out of the car.
He looked around, waved his hand, and everyone followed him into the main building. The group soon found their target: James, who has become a zombie, the last heir of the Duff family.
"Hehehe, James, James, look at the way you look now, what a wolf. But you are to blame for all this, why don't you want to listen to me? Ever since you became the master of the Duff family, you have become more and more estranged from me, and you have blindly mixed with that yellow-skinned monkey, and if you still obey me as before, we will not come to this point. ”
James, who turned into a zombie, was grabbed by two big men with his arms, and could only keep biting him.
"Goodbye James, take me to say hello to your two brothers. Oh yes, you don't know who I am, I am your most faithful servant, Enrique, may you be happy in hell. There was a bang, and James had an extra hole in his head, and a stream of black blood flowed out, and he also fell.
Enrique put the gun away, "Search me carefully, you have to find the list." His men nodded and began to search the study.
He sat down in the big chair with his feet around the desk, and said with satisfaction: "From this day forward, the master of the city should be me, Enrique. Elias. Lee, your Brotherhood will be the next target to be cleaned up. Are you ready? But until then, you're still a little bit useful. ”
Half an hour later, a massive explosion destroyed Duff Manor, and an underworld family that had been entrenched in Chicago for many years disappeared.
The next day, Li Chang, who got the news, sighed: "James, I came back with gold, but you are gone." ”
"It's a bit strange to keep an eye on who took down the Irish gang, and what happens to the entire Chicago underworld." The subordinate nodded and turned to leave.
After Li finished the order, he turned around and held Chixiao high and shouted, "Come on brothers, we have to clean up this garbage as much as possible and go back to drinking." ”
"Good!" The boys of the Brotherhood and the Southern District are enthusiastic under his leadership, and with the healing runes, the sluggish zombies are not too much of a threat to them, and the narrow space is in charge of the members of the security team, and the whole city is restored to normal as quickly as possible.
During the day, Jessica, Locke and others also led people to clean up the zombies regardless of fatigue, and when the sky turned to night, Finley and Liana led their people to act in the dark.
In just five days, the disaster was wiped out by the efforts of everyone, and when the last building was cleared, all Chicagoans took to the streets to cheer, and this feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe made their family, friendship, and love heat up dramatically.
When such a serious incident was resolved, the mayor immediately issued a proclamation stating that a grand parade would be held in a week to mourn the deaths of those who died in the incident, as well as to celebrate this victory belonging to the people and to commend those who had made outstanding contributions to the incident.
"Honey, you're going to win an award too." Jessica laughed and fell into Lee's arms.
"yes, I can't keep a low profile this time, too many people have seen me. However, it's not a bad thing, this adventure is so rewarding that I think it's time for us to get to the stage. Li kissed her, looked at the old monster of Wu Zhiqi who was hiding in the room and looking at various books and audio-visual products, and laughed, the current brotherhood is not the same as before.
A week later, the celebration came as scheduled, and almost all citizens descended on Divison Avenue, where countless candles and memorabilia were placed on the side of Chicago's last line of defense.
The names of relatives and friends lost in the disaster were whispered, and the women could not help but cry, and even the strong men were filled with tears.
Sheriff Boyt and Caroline also arrived, lighting a candle on the corner where Joe died.
"May you rest in heaven." Caroline finished her prayer and stood up.
Boyt patted her on the shoulder, "Don't blame him, in that situation, the selfish desires of human beings would be infinitely magnified, and not everyone could have the spirit of sacrifice." ”
Caroline nodded, "I'm just mourning my colleague, that's all." ”
After the memorial service, people gradually converged on the intersection of Dividson and Halsted Streets, where the commendation ceremony was held.
After the mayor's brief but sincere opening remarks, Lee was the first to take the stage.
Lee looked around the audience and saw many familiar faces, he smiled, and didn't take any draft: "Friendliness and stubbornness are synonymous with the people of Chicago. Nowhere was this more evident than in the disaster, where all of us Chicagoans came together without distinction of race or gender. We have proven that the united people of Chicago are invincible. ”
"I'm very grateful to Mr. Mayor for being the first to speak up, but I don't know what to say. This catastrophe is not for me to put an end to, but for each and every one of you to do it, and without your fearless struggle, I could not have done anything alone. On the contrary, with your being, anybody can do these things that I can. ”
"So, I think the most deserving of credit is for these people behind me, these ordinary people like you, as long as you are here, Chicago will never fall." His short and modest words won applause.
After saying that, Lee gave up his place after greeting everyone, and the representatives of the various organizations in the back came up one by one to receive the awards, and the representatives of the security team, the brave young men of the Southern District, the Chicago police, and even the National Guard also came up to mix up the awards, although the people of Chicago were quite complaining about their belated arrival, but they still came.
Finally, Sheriff Boyt, the most heroic and fearless of the disaster, finally took the stage and was greeted by the cheers of thousands of people below.
Jessica smiled and poked Lee, "Look, our sheriff is more popular than you." ”
"It's good, these honors should have been theirs, no matter how strong our ability is, how many zombies can we kill, and it is really powerful to integrate everyone's power together."
Yes, you're one of the great forces that bring these people together. Jessica silently hugged Lee's arm and looked at the stage with him.
